| 1355044 | Research | ARS entomologists Paul Pratt (left) and Cressida Silvers (center) discuss melaleuca treatments used at the Prairie Pines demonstration site, one of the largest in the The Areawide Management and Evaluation of Melaleuca (TAME Melaleuca) project, with Anik Smith, Lee County land manager. |
| 1355045 | Research | In a biological control impact study, research leader Ted Center climbs up to inspect a melaleuca tree that is protected from biocontrol agents with insecticides, while entomologist Cressida Silvers checks one that was planted at the same time and inoculated with biocontrol agents. Note that the biocontrol-inoculated tree is much smaller. |
| 1355046 | Control | Aerial herbicide applications are often used by land management agencies to control invasive melaleuca trees on large, remote areas of the Everglades. If not controlled, the melaleuca trees in the foreground will soon invade the sawgrass-dominated area in the background, which is more representative of the way the Everglades looks before melaleuca invasion. |
| 1355048 | Infestation | Forms dense forests that can reach heights of over 20 meters. |
